Accessibility Comments

There is just a little something wonky with this app, and you have to deal with many unlabeled images and an odd search box. Articles that result from clicking through to 'full article' and 'more information' are pretty easy to read though. Lots of info; messy interface.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some accessibility issues with this app, but it can still be used if you are willing to tolerate these issues and learn how to work around them.

Other Comments

Maybe, I'm spoiled; but it is a clunky interface, and I found the edit/search process cumbersome. Still worth it though because of the texts it links to. Lots of these are online; they're serious about you needing a WiFi connection to make this work well.
